This opening phrase of Psalm 73:25 is a profound declaration of exclusive devotion and reliance on God. The Hebrew word for "Whom" (מִי, "mi") is an interrogative pronoun that sets the tone for a rhetorical question, emphasizing the psalmist's realization that there is no other being in heaven who can compare to God. This reflects a deep understanding of monotheism, a central tenet of the Jewish faith, which is echoed throughout the Old Testament. The psalmist, Asaph, acknowledges that in the heavenly realm, where divine beings might be imagined, there is none other than God who holds ultimate authority and power. This phrase invites believers to reflect on the supremacy of God over all spiritual entities and to reaffirm their faith in Him alone.
